Our mission is to provide campers with a safe, fun, exciting environment in which to learn theater skills. We provide the highest quality theater education while encouraging students to hone their unique talents, to develop their confidence and to discover the joy of being on stage. Each student is given the opportunity to shine in his/her own way. The professional child will be given invaluable tools to help move ahead on a career path.
Spend your summer in the spotlight! Our three week camp will give actors the chance to perform in THE 25th ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE! This show gives the opportunity for every cast member to have a leading role! Each week of camp will be building toward the evening performances on July 27 - July 29 at our Black Box Theater. No audition is required for entrance into this program. Enrollment / Cast size will be limited to 10 people.
WHAT DO WE DO EACH DAY? Mornings will consist of building skills essential for performance: focusing on acting technique, voice and speech, choreography and specialty skills such as improvisation. Afternoons will be for rehearsing the show: providing an outlet to apply the skills you are learning. Week one will include picking the scenes and songs that will be included in the revue.
WHAT IF I DON'T THINK I'M A GOOD SINGER OR DANCER? NO PROBLEM! This is a place to learn and experience. Everyone will sing and dance but you will be featured in the production doing what you are most comfortable with! (You might be surprised to find out that you're better than you think!)
IS THERE A FINAL PERFORMANCE? YES! There are 4 PERFORMANCES! All performances will be in our Black Box Theater. Performances will be on Friday, July 27 at 7pm, Saturday, July 28 at 4pm & 8pm and Sunday, July 29 at 2pm.
WEEK 1: IMPROV COMEDY:
Give your imagination a blast of spontaneity! Learn the basic rules of improvisational comedy and then put them to use playing performance games (similar to "Whose Line Is It Anyway?")
WEEK 2: MUSICAL THEATER:
Here the performance elements of musical theater are examined. Through the use of group numbers, duets or solos and scenes, students work on their vocal skills while learning how to act through a song.
WEEK 3: ACTING INTENSIVE:
Through the use of monologues and scene work, students work on gaining and deepening their acting skills. Focus will be on the use of given circumstances, playing objectives, using conflicts and obstacles and identifying the needs of a character.
WEEK 4: ACTING FOR FILM & TELEVISION:
This on camera course will teach students about the TV commercial and the TV / film industry. By working on camera each day, students will learn how to prepare for the commercial audition and how to approach written material for TV and Film (while also exploring choice, size and physicality in front of the camera).
*Enrollment is limited to 16 students per camp
